its not just you we are slow right now also nice thing is my boss did a workshare program through the unemployment department so it helps and can still work

I'm typically always busy. Each month since March my volume has slowed. Others in this area have been laying off. The only shops that I know of that are still going full blast are the large shops that have large jobs that were sold for installation this year. So they are living off a backlog of work with not too many new jobs coming in.

Must be nice...How long would it take me to commute from the Ambassador Bridge to Howell everyday.. only about a 1/2 hour I bet. Heck I would use my own vehicle to do the service calls in...I am getting out the razor blades and scraping the lettering off of it right now...lol

We do commercial, and for a few months we had a slight reduction compared to last year as retail retracted into a profit and loss hole. For example, we have one store with two units, 15 year old Carrier RTU's. Last year, one was taken out of heating service due to corrosion of the HX and related parts. Yesterday, I found the other unit can no longer be producing heat for the same reason. Now, at least one will have to be repaired.

Other stores that have been putting off repairs will be stepping up soon, as the numbers released today bode for a better quarter or two than the bloodbath that had been expected.
